Not hearing back from companies?

Unlock the secrets to a successful job application and accelerate your journey to your next opportunity.

Zoox’s Robot Software Infrastructure team is looking for a Manager to oversee two functions: the Linux OS Platforms and the Vehicle Software Configuration. This team enables the execution of complex, hardware-accelerated workloads required for autonomous driving on embedded, automotive-grade hardware. They collaborate closely with compute hardware teams and the developers whose applications run on these platforms. How does a vehicle know what to do when it wakes up? This team is responsible for building runtime configuration systems that ensure seamless operation of the vehicle.

Kernel selection, configuration, and device driver updates including GPU drivers
Development of system services, OS build tools, and installation tools
Software build and authorization system
Creation of in-field update mechanisms and OS validation plans
Implementation of OS security features and defining modes and mechanisms to control software and hardware configurations
Enabling adaptive runtime behavior for various scenarios and management of hardware-in-the-loop continuous integration (HIL and CI) infrastructure

Qualifications

2+ years of experience managing teams that deliver production-level software
Proven success in hiring, mentoring, and developing high-performing teams
Strong cross-functional project management experience and excellent written and verbal communication skills
Solid understanding of operating system internals
Familiarity with Linux containerization (e.g., chroot, cgroups, namespaces), filesystems, networking, software build and update systems
Proficiency in languages like C or C++ (without automatic memory management) and scripting languages like Bash or Python and experience in designing architectures for large, complex software systems
